The essentials

To launch a vacation home rental business in Dubai, this type of activity may only be carried out through a Mainland company. A Free Zone company does not allow this activity to be developed.
The activity involves managing the rental of furnished accommodations on behalf of owners for daily, weekly, monthly, or annual periods. It concerns renting the entire unit rather than individual rooms or beds.
Activity description: Includes firms engaged arranging the rental of the furnished accommodations on behalf of owners to vacationers on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis, it involves renting the unit as a whole and not partially as rooms or beds.
Obtain a “Holiday Home” permit
